Google has money problems?

This year Google has changed Adsense referral program, and has stopped Domain Tasting.

Thy have taken this actions to stop fraud, and to increase their profit. With the referral program you could earn $250 if the person you referred made $100, this led to a creation of networks with the purpose of making money from referrals.

They stopped Domain Tasting for those who use AdSense on they parked domains that are less then five days old. When you register a domain you have a period of five days in which you can delete the domain at no cost.

You’re probably thinking a domain is only $10 and you can use it for a whole year what is the point? You don’t make money just from one parked domain you make from hundreds or millions of parked domain. Lets say that you want to register 1000 domains this would cost $10,000 for one year, and making money from parked domains is not that easy, the five days will let you decide which domains makes more money and keep those and delete the others, again a group could take advantage of this. After you delete the domains one person from the group can buy them free make some money and delete them again.

With this scheme an average person could make millions, and it happened, one Google partner was generating $3 million dollars a month.

Google was making millions from this schemes why would they stop? Because of the danger of lawsuits, they can lose more that they can make from them. And maybe because in North America, Latin America, and Japan, there are less internet fraud dangers.

Last year Google announce that publishers will get less money in 2008, what is next?
